Emma Watson on the Road to Regression

Harry Potter‘s Hermione Granger is all grown up and ready to deal with a lot more villainous things than just Lord Voldemort! In fact word’s coming in to the DC offices that star Emma Watson is gearing up to get screamy for the Weinsteins’ new flick Regression.

Regression is written and is to be directed by auteur Alejandro Amenabar, and Watson will star in the flick alongside Ethan Hawke (The Purge, Daybreakers, Sinister).

The storyline is being kept under wraps, but producer Fernando Bovaira said, “Alejandro plays in ‘Regression’ with our deepest primal fears to make us feel once again both profoundly human and extremely vulnerable.”

Said Alejandro Amenabar, “‘Regression’ means for me coming back to my passion, genre filmmaking, and it’s a great pleasure to have on board Bob and Harvey [Weinstein], who so passionately supported ‘The Others’.”

Idris Elba Directs and Stars in Netflix’s HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME

Like many of you out there, Idris Elba is one of my favorite actors working today. And it is with this in mind that I’m excited by today’s news that says Elba will be tackling The Hunchback of Notre Dame for Netflix.

THR reports that Elba will not only star in the film, but he will be directing and producing the music described as a “sonic and musical experience” as well. That’s a lot of hats there, Gunslinger.

For those who might be unaware, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is an 1831 novel by Victor Hugo that follows Quasimodo, a hunchback, who falls in love with the Gypsy Esmeralda. Michael Mitnick (The Current War, The Giver) will write the modern-day retelling with Fred Berger (La La Land) and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (Midnight Special) producing along with Elba and Ana Garanito.
